The suspension components are going to be fine, you can run aftermarket rims on stock shocks/springs with no issue whatsoever. To fix any camber, you need a camber kit. When buying rims, make sure the width you get will fit inside your wheel well and not rub. Other then that, make sure the offset will clear all the brake components and all that jazz. And of course 4x100 bolt pattern.
